An elegant Chinese green loose leaf tea from Jinhua, Zheijang province.
It’s extremely well suited for cold infusions – the long, slow, cold extraction elevates the softer grassy notes.
When infused as a hot tea it is bright with intense green flavours.

August Sipdown Challenge Prompt – a summer refresher
I am finally remembering to cold steep this!
Lunch today was an Asian-ish style soup. I picked baby eggplant and baby green beans and chives and herbs in the garden and added some frozen corn and fresh diced carrot. All was cooked in chicken broth and ramen style noodles were added. Normally I would have matcha with that sort of thing but I had a fresh, ice-cold steeper full of this and it was perfect with it.
The texture is quite different than when drinking it hot, of course. It is rather creamy hot. But cold, It has lighter body and since the steeper is glass (it is the one sold by Rare Tea Company) it is blissfully cold. After picking the veggies and then cooking and then EATING a hot soup on a hot day, the tea was especially refreshing. Its nutty flavor was excellent to pair with food. It had steeped for two days and was not at all bitter, so I would call it very forgiving.
What a delicious-sounding lunch! And I adore eggplant. :-P
One of my favorite miso soups is roasted eggplant miso. I have roasted some of ours and frozen in readiness for a lovely lunch one cold day!
